Center Aaron Gray was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his left fibula Tuesday and is expected to be sidelined for 6-8 weeks.The team said Gray began to experience lower leg pain the past two days in practice.
The Bulls now have two veteran big men on the shelf. Besides Gray, Jerome James is trying to come back from a torn Achilles’ tendon and estimated that he might be ready to play in a month or two.
The Bulls do have 7-foot Steven Hill, a second-year center from Arkansas, and 6-9 former Florida power forward Chris Richard on the training-camp roster.
